⚡ MEPCO New Electricity Connection — Apply Online

✅ Property document is in your name

If the property isn't in your name (e.g., inherited), you need an ownership transfer document or an NOC from the legal owner.

✅ CNIC copies are attested

Attestation by a gazetted officer is mandatory. Self-attestation or stamp-only copies are rejected.

✅ Wiring contractor's report is signed

The report must be issued by a licensed contractor registered with WAPDA. Unlicensed contractor reports are invalid.

✅ Load requirement is estimated

Know the total kW of equipment you plan to run. An underestimated load leads to power issues; overestimated load raises costs.

✅ Mobile number is registered in your name

Your Tracking ID, Demand Notice alerts, and survey notifications all go to the registered mobile. Use a SIM registered to your own CNIC.

Step 1 — Gather & Prepare Documents

Before touching the online form, physically gather every document you need: your property document (original + clear copy), both CNICs (applicant + witness) with gazetted attestation, a copy of the most recent electricity bill from a neighbour whose property borders yours, and the wiring test report from a WAPDA-licensed contractor. Poor-quality scans or missing documents are the #1 reason MEPCO applications sit in "review" for weeks.

Step 2 — Submit Online Application

Open the MEPCO portal (use the Apply button above), create an account with your CNIC and mobile number, and fill the new connection form. Specify your load requirement in kW, select single-phase or three-phase, enter the full property address, and upload clear photos or scans of all documents. Review everything carefully before submitting — editing after submission is not possible.

Step 3 — Receive Tracking ID

Within minutes of a successful submission, MEPCO's system will send a unique 11-digit Tracking ID to your registered mobile number. This number is irreplaceable — screenshot it, write it on paper, and keep it in your phone notes. Every future interaction with MEPCO (status checks, Demand Notice printing, receipt uploads, helpline calls) requires this ID.

Step 4 — Technical Survey

MEPCO assigns a field engineer who will call ahead (sometimes) and visit your property to assess the technical requirements for extending the power line. They measure the distance from the nearest existing pole to your meter board, check the local transformer's spare capacity, and determine whether new poles or cables are needed. Make sure the survey area is accessible. This survey is the basis for your Demand Notice amount.

Step 5 — Pay the Demand Notice

MEPCO issues a Demand Notice detailing the total connection fees — service line, poles, transformer share, meter security deposit, and registration. Print it using the Print Demand Notice tool on this site, take it to any listed bank, and pay the full amount. On the same day, photograph the bank receipt and upload it via the Upload Demand Notice tool. Uploading the receipt cuts the verification wait from 7 days down to 1–3 days.

Step 6 — Meter Installation

Once MEPCO confirms payment, they procure materials (cable, poles, meter) and schedule the installation. A crew will visit your property to run the service line from the nearest pole to your meter board, install the electricity meter, and test the connection. On this day, take note of the meter serial number (printed on the meter body) and the initial reading. This protects you against billing errors in your first few bills.

✅ Property Document Copy

A copy of your ownership documents (registry, sale deed, lease agreement, or allotment letter) that proves your legal right to the premises where the connection is required.

✅ Attested CNIC Copy of Applicant

A clear photocopy of your 13-digit National Identity Card, attested by a gazetted officer or notary public. The attesting officer must sign, stamp, and write 'Attested True Copy' on the copy.

✅ Attested CNIC Copy of Witness

Your application requires a witness whose attested CNIC copy must also be included. The witness can be a neighbour, local resident, or relative who can vouch for your identity and premises.

✅ Neighbour's Electricity Bill Copy

A copy of the latest electricity bill of a neighbouring property helps the electricity company's survey team easily identify the location of your premises on their network maps.

✅ Wiring Contractor's Test Report

A test report issued by a licensed and accredited electrical wiring contractor confirming that the internal wiring of your premises meets WAPDA and Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) safety specifications.
